Last weekend's "Saturday Night Live" included a skit set in a Hawaiian resort. In it, SNL host Dwayne "No Longer Nicknamed 'The Rock' " Johnson and cast member Fred Armisen depicted workers at the resort who rain on tourists' vacations by complaining about their state.

He
later deliberately knocks over the drinks of a customer who points to
the flower lei around his neck and makes a lame joke about getting
"lei-ed."

Hawaii officials are none too pleased.

Hawaii
Lt. Gov. James "Duke" Aiona said he's worried the skit might hurt the
state's biggest industry and plans to send a letter in protest to Lorne Michaels, the NBC program's executive producer.

The
skit "went too far in its negative depiction of Hawaii's native people
and tourism industry," Aiona said. He added he wouldn't let "such
distortions go unchecked" when the economy is doing so poorly.
